Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Historically, Chinese altar tables were placed in family ancestral halls or private residences for devotional practices, display of ancestral tablets, and burning of incense. Over time, their elongated, narrow form made them functional decorative furniture within domestic interiors.

These tables are traditionally constructed using woods such as elm (yumu), walnut, or rosewood, joined without nails using complex mortise-and-tenon joinery. Features often include everted flanges at the ends of the top tabletop board and openwork carved spandrels supporting the frame.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery, natural wear patterns around footrests and edges, and traditional lacquer finishes that show subtle aging or crazing. Examination of the underside often reveals hand-planed timber and original pegged construction.

In modern interiors, these tables function effectively as hallway console tables, sofa back tables, or focal display surfaces in dining rooms. Their long, linear profile pairs well with contemporary artwork or minimalist decorative ceramics above the tabletop.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent splitting or warping. Clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth and periodically apply a high-quality beeswax polish to maintain the finish and nourish the timber.
